MEDIA ARTS Standards Glossary Media Arts Glossary Media Arts Glossary New York State Learning Standards for the Arts MEDIA ARTS GLOSSARY of Discipline-Specific Terms & Concepts Copyright 2017 The New York State Education Department New York State Learning Standards for the Arts – Media Arts Page 2 of 16 NOTES: The letters “VA” in the next-to-right-hand column indicate that part or all of the definition is the same in the New York State Visual Arts and Media Arts standards. √ A checkmark in the far right-hand column indicates that a significant part or all of the definition is a New York State addition to defintions published by the National Core Arts Standards (SEADAE, 2014). When only a small part of a definition is added by NYS authors, that part is underlined. NCAS definitions can be found at http://www.nationalartsstandards.org/content/glossary. Media Arts Media art is understood to apply to all forms of time-related art works which are created by recording sound and/or visual images. Media artwork usually depends on a technological component to function. It includes both fine art and commercially-oriented works presented via film, television, radio, audio, video, the internet, interactive and mobile technologies, transmedia storytelling, and satellite. Forms that are shared with contemporary visual arts/fine arts include kinetic sculpture, information art, organic and algorithmic art, interactive art, multimedia installations, etc. Other more commercially- oriented forms include news reporting, documentaries, advertisements, music videos, animation, machinima, video games and game design, and/or a combination of any of these. Media art forms are constantly evolving in response to technological innovations. Shared NYS with Visual additions Definitions Arts to NCAS A Aesthetic Specific artistic awareness, or a deep appreciation of the meaning of an artistic experience through intellectual, emotional, and sensual responses to a work of art. VA √ Aesthetics in Media Arts involves engagement with and increasing understanding of how images, sounds, and texts can be used to provoke responses. Aesthetics The philosophical inquiry into the nature of what makes a work of art a “work of art,” and not just an object; our response to the work, and the resulting examination of our values concerning art. VA √ Other aesthetic inquiries include questions like who is the artist? or when or under what circumstances is a work art? Aesthetics can change over time, in response to context and culture. Analyze Examine methodically and in detail the constitution or structure of something, VA √ typically for purposes of explanation, interpretation, or deeper understanding. Appropriation The intentional borrowing, copying, and altering of pre-existing images and VA objects. New York State Learning Standards for the Arts – Media Arts Page 3 of 16 Shared NYS with Visual additions Arts to NCAS Art criticism The combined act (not always in this order) of carefully observing; describing; analyzing form, structure and/or application of media; and interpreting meaning VA √ in a work of art based on what has been perceived. Some theorists add evaluation or judgment as a final step. Others include creating connections with other works and/or integrating context. Artistic work Artifacts or actions or processes that have been put forward by an artist or other VA √ person as something to be experienced, interpreted, and appreciated. Artwork Artifact or product that has been put forward by an artist or other person as VA √ something to be experienced, interpreted, and appreciated. Attention Principle of directing perception through sensory and conceptual effect. Audience experience (See Manage audience experience) B Balance Principle of the equitable and/or dynamic distribution of items in a media arts composition or structure for aesthetic meaning, as in a visual frame, or within game architecture. C Collaborate, Collaboration VA Working together to formulate and solve creative problems. Collaboratively Joining with others in attentive participation in an activity of imagining, exploring, VA or making. Components The discrete portions and aspects of media artwork, including elements, principles, processes, parts, or assemblies, that may employ or engage light, sound, space, time, shot, clip, scene, sequence, movie, narrative, cinematography, or interactivity. Composition A whole made up of multiple parts arranged in such a way that the relationships VA √ between the parts work together to create a particular effect or meaning. cont’d New York State Learning Standards for the Arts – Media Arts Page 4 of 16 Shared NYS with Visual additions Arts to NCAS Specific to media arts: Placement or arrangement of visual and/or audible elements/components within a whole. Constraints Limitations on what is possible, either real or perceived. Context Interrelated influences surrounding the creation and experience of an artwork, including the artist, audience, time, culture, presentation, and physical or virtual VA √ location of the production and reception of the work. Often divided into the larger categories of personal, social, historical, and cultural kinds of context. Continuity The maintenance of uninterrupted flow, continuous action, or self-consistent detail between the various scenes or components of a media artwork; e.g., game components, branding, movie timeline, series, etc. Convention VA An established, common, or predictable rule, method, or practice. Copyright Form of protection grounded in the US Constitution and granted by law for VA √ original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression, covering both published and unpublished works. Creative Commons Copyright license templates that provide a simple, standardized way to give the VA √ public permission to share and use creative work on conditions of the maker’s choice. Creative economy A creative economy is based on people’s use of their creative imagination to increase an idea’s value. In a creative economy, value is based on novel, imaginative qualities rather than on the traditional resources of land, labor, and VA √ capital. Some observers take the view that creativity is the defining characteristic of developed 21st century economies, just as manufacturing typified 19th and early 20th century economies. Creative process There are various models of the creative process that contain stages of work phases, such as inspiration, clarification, distillation, perspiration, evaluation, and VA √ incubation. During a particular piece of creative work, each phase might be experienced many times, in no definite order or duration of time. New York State Learning Standards for the Arts – Media Arts Page 5 of 16 Shared NYS with Visual additions Arts to NCAS Criteria (plural), Criterion (singular) The particular parameters (content, context, desired effect, form, structure, VA √ duration, medium, etc.) used to define and/or evaluate an assignment, task, or work. Critique Individual or collective reflective process by which artists or designers experience, VA √ analyze, and evaluate a work of art or design. Cultural, Culture Pertaining to values and beliefs of a particular group of people, from a specific VA √ place or time, expressed through characteristics such as tradition, social structure, religion, art, and food. Curate Collect, sort, and organize objects, artwork, and artifacts; preserve and maintain VA √ historical records and catalogue exhibits. D Design thinking A formal, cognitive methodology for practical, innovative resolution of problems and creation of solutions, with the intent of an improved future result. Design thinking specifically starts with empathizing with and gathering information on the needs of all constituents involved, not just a specific party; goal setting is geared for a better future situation rather than resolving a discrete problem independent of reference to the current and future environment. A popular version of the design thinking process has seven stages: define, research, ideate, prototype, choose, implement, and learn. VA √ Within these steps, problems can be framed, the right questions can be asked, more ideas can be created, and the best answers can be chosen. The steps aren't linear; they can occur simultaneously and be repeated. By considering both present and future conditions and parameters of the problem, alternative solutions may be explored simultaneously. Learning happens throughout the process, from the early research phase to the final presentation. Design thinking has been adapted for business purposes as a method of developing divergent and innovative solutions. Digital, Digital format Anything in electronic form, including photos, images, video, audio files, or VA √ artwork, created or presented through electronic means; a gallery of artwork viewed electronically through any device.

Foreword Art and design education are part of a comprehensive Pre-K-12 education for all students. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction continues its efforts to support the skill and knowledge development for our students across the state in all content areas. This guide is meant to support this work as well as foster additional reflection on the instructional framework that will most effectively support students’ learning in art and design through creative practices. This document represents a new direction for art education, identifying a more in-depth review of art and design education. The most substantial change involves the definition of art and design education as the study of visual thinking – including design, visual communications, visual culture, and fine/studio art. The guide provides local, statewide, and national examples in each of these areas to the reader. The overall framework offered suggests practice beyond traditional modes and instead promotes a more constructivist approach to learning.

    Quantifying The Value And Impact Of Cultural Seasons Submitted to: Department of Arts and Culture Submitted by: Nelson Mandela University In Partnership with: Rhodes University, University of Fort Hare and University of KwaZulu-Natal RESEARCH 1 South African Cultural Observatory KDI Report Quantifying The Value And Impact Of Cultural Seasons December 2019 Prepared by: André Gouws Brendan Verster Submitted to the Department of Arts and Culture: 2 Summary Within the field of international relations, it is recognized that Cultural Diplomacy is a key diplomatic tool is used to advance their national interests by governments. Globalization links people, cities, regions and countries closer together that has led to our lives being intertwined with people in all parts of the world. Globalization has an impact on how diplomacy is executed and stresses the importance of Cultural Diplomacy. If there is no certain way to measure it, then how do we know if a Cultural Diplomacy is a success or not? Should Cultural Diplomacy change the target's way of thinking? How long does the process of Cultural Diplomacy work? While the concept of Cultural Seasons may be a new concept in South African, the practice is not. At the height of apartheid, South African diplomats crafted and re-packed cultural activities to appeal to foreign audiences for years. The South African season in France, organized by the French Institute and the National Arts Council, took place from May to December 2013. It was the very first time that a Southern African country was honoured in France in the framework of Cultural Seasons.

  • The Effect of Manager's Frequency and Quality of Communication on Team's Performance Michal Franc1, Radvan Bahbouh1,2 & Rudolf Kubík1 1QED GROUP A.S
    The effect of manager's frequency and quality of communication on team's performance Michal Franc1, Radvan Bahbouh1,2 & Rudolf Kubík1 1QED GROUP a.s. 2Charles University, Faculty of Arts, Department of Psychology, Czech Republic Abstract Objective. This paper wants to empirically test hypothesis that team leader's (who is the strongest determinant of communication climate and shared mental models within the team) higher frequency and quality of communication leads to higher performance. Method. Hypothesis was tested on a sample of 237 leaders of sales teams from a large financial institution. The team leaders were rated based on quality and frequency of their communication by their subordinates. Team leaders had to be in their positions at least for 1 year. Standard sociomapping items with previously demonstrated reliability and validity were used to measure communication. Team performance was measured by average team member's annual revenue. Results. Regression analysis showed positive effect of quality and frequency of team leader's communication on team performance. Conclusions. From theoretical perspective, the paper follows up on studies investigating relationship between communication satisfaction and team performance. Practical implications lie mainly in s interventions and other efforts to improve communication within organizations. Further, it highlights the necessity to consider managers' communication- related competencies during their selection and consecutive development. Limitations. The main limitations of this study are its cross-sectional character and specificity of the sample (effect of intervening variables such as company culture cannot be excluded). Keywords. team leader; quality of communication; frequency of communication; team performance; sociomapping https://doi.org/10.5817/CZ.MUNI.P210-9488-2019-4 44 Introduction Work teams are a group of people striving to achieve a shared goal.

PUB TYPE Guides Non-Classroom (055) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC14 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Academic Standards; *Art Education; Core Curriculum; Cultural Activities; Dance; Elementary Secondary Education; *Fine Arts; Models; Music; Professional Development; *Program Development; *Public Schools; *State Standards; Student Development; Student Educational Objectives; Theater Arts; Visual Arts IDENTIFIERS *Connecticut; Scope and Sequence ABSTRACT The primary purpose of this Connecticut state guide is to assist local school districts in developing quality programs in the visual and performing arts: dance, music, theater, and the visual arts. Because the guide presents goals and standards for student learning in the arts, as well as models of quality curriculum, it is also a useful resource for preservice teacher preparation and inservice professional development programs. The cornerstone of Connecticut's arts program goals is the expectation that, in each art form, students learn to perform the three artistic processes: creating new art works, performing existing art works, and responding to the art works and performances of others. The K-12 arts program envisioned in the standards is one designed to help each child find a personal path to lifelong involvement in the arts. The guide recommends goals, standards, and proven procedures for developing, implementing, and assessing local programs.
